The show's creator Mike Schur was having none of it though and tweeted a request to the NRA to remove the image saying: "Hi, please take this down. I would prefer you not use a GIF from a show I worked on to promote your pro-slaughter agenda.

"Also, Amy isn’t on twitter, but she texted me a message: 'Can you tweet the NRA for me and tell them I said f— off?'"

Nick Offerman, who played Ron Swanson on Parks and Rec, also chimed in saying:

.@NRA@DLoesch our good-hearted show and especially our Leslie Knope represent the opposite of your pro-slaughter agenda - take it down and also please eat shit. ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸ https://t.co/Ar2YF4yoic
